Robbie Martin using original Bohemian Grove yearly annals and other sources tells the story of how the Cremation of Care ceremony came to be and how they performed it for nearly 30 years before the arrival of the iconic giant owl statue. The first time the Cremation of Care was performed with a statue wasn't of an owl, it was performed in front of a 75 foot tall statue of Buddha while the grove members dressed in red and white kimonos.  Other activities are alluded to in their early documents like procuring prostitutes, smoking marijuana and bathing together naked. The early 1890s would mark the beginning of top level US government officials becoming a normal sight at Bohemian Grove campouts. 

The simulated Cremation of Care ceremony in the intro [recreated by Robbie Martin] includes pieces from the following authentic original Bohemian Grove compositions from 'The Sounds of Bohemia' : 

Beauty's Vassals - Performed by the No Name Quartet and composed by Charles Hart recorded 1987.  This more jovial vocal song was sometimes performed directly before Cremation of Care would begin. 

Barcarole - Performed by the Owl Club Orchestra and composed by Charles Hart recorded 1930. This song was specifically composed to accompany the transportation of the human effigy (Care) to the funeral pyre (a tradition that became transportation by boat)

Artwork: 'Cremation of Care' by Jules Taverier (from Harpers Magazine 1881)

This is part of a larger in-depth history podcast series that covers the span of American Freemasonry and all of its associated occult and fraternal organizations from 1776 - 1900.

The Beginnings of Bohemian Grove & the Cremation of Care, Masonic History of the US Pt 8 [ Preview ]

This is 1 of a 2 part episode expoloring new angles of the 9/11 attacks using a visual interactive map of Florida. Robbie first starts by answering listener questions he didn't get a chance to answer on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Later he explores the bizarre CIA and intel connections to 3 of the flight schools attended by the hijackers and the strange coincidece and multiple mis-reports(?) about some of the 9/11 hijackers recording a violent extremist rap record in Sarosota, Florida not long before the attacks themselves. In part 2 Robbie takes a deep dive into the eerie Florida connections between the 9/11 hijackers, the so-called 'Israeli art students' and the Amerithrax attacks, guiding the viewers through a tour of the geopgraphy using the interactive map.

Boca Raton, Sarasota, Art Students, Anthrax & Angel is Next 2 of 2

Robbie Martin discusses the long memory-holed 2001 anthrax attacks on the 20th anniversary of the first murder, the death of American Media Inc employee Robert Stevens in Boca Raton, Florida (which took place on October 5th, 2001). 4 more would eventually die from inhalation anthrax after envelopes were sent through the US postal service containing  terroristic letters attempting to appear Islamic ( 'ALLAH IS GREAT' ) & high-grade weaponized anthrax spores. But what happened with all of those 'hoax' letters that contained fake anthrax? Who were those sent to? Were all these hoax attacks unrelated to the actual murders? Maybe not, as  'hoax' letters were sent from St. Petersburg Florida with eerie and confusing similarities to the real anthrax letters sent by the named anthrax killer. Listen closely as Robbie breaks down the timeline of why these 'hoax' letters and their implications could potentially turn the entire FBI Amerithrax case against Bruce Ivins upside-down.

Note: The original description & content for this podcast incorrectly referred to 3* hoax anthrax letters sent from St Petersburg. There were actually 4* known hoax letters sent from St Petersburg, Florida: 2 postmarked September 20th 2001 delivered to Tom Brokaw of NBC News & the NY Post then 2 postmarked October 5th 2001 delivered to Judith Miller of the NY Times & Howard Troxler of the St Petersburg Times.  Audio content on this episode has been revised to correct any previous inaccuracies as of 10/24/21.

How The Pentagon Runs Hollywood

After a month long vacation, Abby Martin is back to catch up with Robbie. They talk about everything from their sadness over the death of their favorite comedian Norm Macdonald to their disdain towards the recently deceased Colin Powell, the man who became a human symbol for bipartisan militarism and was a vehicle for liberal acceptance of neoconservative foreign policy and endless war in the Clinton, Bush and Obama eras.
